Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in a number of physiological and pathologic processes including the inflammation found in IBD. We have shown that MMP-3 is upregulated in Crohn's disease and in ulcerative colitis. This study shows a potential role for MMP-12 in these idiopathic diseases.Entities:
